In this Specialization, you’ll learn how to lead and make decisions in global business settings where culture, ethics, and strategy collide. You’ll build a clear understanding of how ethics operates within and beyond organizations, and how diverse cultures and shifting global perspectives shape what “good decisions” look like across contexts. You’ll practice identifying ethical issues in global business and using stakeholder analysis and structured reasoning to reach decisions you can defend.
You’ll also strengthen cross-cultural management skills that matter in day-to-day work: communication, teamwork, negotiation, and leadership across national cultures. Using tools like The Culture Map, you’ll learn to detect cultural differences, prevent misunderstandings, and diagnose cross-cultural issues so you can find workable compromises.
Finally, you’ll connect people and ethics skills to international strategy. You’ll learn how the global economy evolved, why countries and markets behave differently, and how trade rules and politics shape business choices. You’ll evaluate when and why firms operate as multinationals, compare options for entering global markets, and choose strategies based on a firm’s situation and external pressures.
